Mound in Killinardan

Located in steeply sloping, uneven ground at the foot of the Dublin Mountains. Named on the 1843 OS 6-inch map as a large oval enclosure. There is a low earthen mound at the site with thorn bushes growing on it (dims. 13m NE-SW; 12.5m NW-SE; H 0.6-1.2m). This is probably the 'moat' which had nearly disappeared in 1876 (Handcock 1991, 46, 3rd ed. ).

Neolithic passage tomb; dates to the early to middle Neolithic period (c. 3700–2500 BCE). Its location and enclosure suggest it may have been part of a ritual or ceremonial landscape associated with the broader Dublin Mountains passage tomb complex.
